So it seems I am invited to a Halloween party, which, damn it, means finding a costume. I'm thinking of wearing this gingham dress and going as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Although I still don't have any ruby slippers!
Meanwhile, I'm entertaining myself by planning an imaginary Day of the Dead themed party, and the outfit for it...
Silk satin and silk organza sugar skull dress, available here.
Calavera mary janes or a Til Death do us Part ring, anyone?
I think this elegantly ghoulish carry-bag should keep my vanity in check for the evening. Available here.
And you better believe I would decorate with these guys!

That dress is so fun for a halloween party! (or day of the dead..)
Looks like fun! I hope you have a fun-filled, spooky Halloween! :)
Have fun :))))))))))) I am not jealous though.
We have Halloween party too and I am debating....not about costume...about go/no-go.
Hello there, Just bumped into your blog from SG's. The accessories look chic! Will follow your blog!
Halloween isn't my favorite, although the idea of dressing up is always fun... though equally daunting at times.
Hmm... you could still go as Dorothy, but perhaps before Oz? Dorothy in Kansas? ;)
You need my Juana skull necklace too -- that skull design was based on a Day of the Dead skull!
@ Emily: I love you for saying that! I've been thinking that all along, that my hiking boots will be fine for "Dorothy in Kansas." And saves me rushing to all the charity shops looking for red shoes. And a toy dog.
Oooh this is sooo cool!!! :D :D

that is so cool! I'm actually going to be Frida Kahlo for Halloween, Im pretty excited about it. I might do a day of the dead painted face to go with the costume, I havent decided yet
@ Eli: Frida Kahlo is an awesome costume idea!
i love this! its way more fun than traditional halloween decorations. and good luck w your costume mine are always so last minute but im sure you'll look great :)
oh my i love that dress. good luck with your halloween costume, hope you post some pics :)
The el Dia de los Muertos theme is a real favorite of mine, and I've seen a lot of work done in such a way. Yet I would love to own all of these pieces! Amazing!
I love the bag! My office mate is Latina and shares a sugar skull with me every year. Any chance you'll find any of those in London?
That dress is incredibly edgy and beautiful. I'm in love with it.
Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
We love this!
What a nice blog, we hope see you soon at ours!

Skulls are DA BOMB. And that bag is so rad.
I really like the colors and shape of that dress!
Best wishes,

Judging from this post, you want to go as a ghoul but you don't know it yet!!
Nah, I'm kidding. Whatever you do, make sure you take plenty of photos to share! :'D

I love the silk dress! is amazing... Frida Kahlo is a nice costume... and it's easy you already have the mexican blouses and the necklaces you just make the braids and paint the eyebrows ;)
or a 20's charleston ballerina that's a cool one too...
have a great Halloween Party!
Aww, I like the Till Death Do Us Part Ring, super cute!

That dress will make for a perfect Dorothy :)
Last year I ended up going to a halloween party (wasn't yet big in Austria by the time I left and I have only had kids knock the door once in all the years I have been in England.. maybe we're such scary neighbours they don't dare?) Anyway, it was themed as well so I had to be a fairy tale character. Ugh. I went as The Little Mermaid - you know, the grim one that doesn't end well and involves lots of pain and walking on swords. Despite all the blood everybody thought I was the disney version and nobody else kept to the theme either. Typical ;)
Wow, these are all great for Halloween!

ummmmm....if that dress wasn't $400 then I would SO buy it. LOVE IT!
Also, have you watched project runway at all this season. There is a desinger, Mondo, who played around with Dio de los Muertos ideas in his line.
This girl's blog shows some of the clothes: http://thegirlsgirl.blogspot.com/2010/10/mondo-makes-me-happy.html
@ Ashley: I know!!! Damn the price!
Wow!!! Qué cosas tan lindas... Quedé impresionada!
i love that dress so much i got married in it! i had her make it for me in White Satin with pink for my day of the dead wedding last year. she liked the idea so much that now she offers a similar dress.
@Rae: That's awesome! It is an absolutely beautiful dress. And I can't tell you how much I like the sound of a Day of the Dead wedding. :)
